Chapter 58 Chapter 58 The momem Noelle threw herself into Nicolass arms , he instinctively wrapped her in a warm embrace .
Her petite , soft frame carried a delicate .
sweet fragrance unique to girls , tickling Nicolass senses and stirring something deep within him .
Noelle hadnt expected to run into her Nick here .
Overjoyed , she muzzled her head against his chest like an affectionate kitten , her voice sweet and soft as she kept repeating .
Nick , Nick_ Alright , Elly , if you keep this up , youre going to set my chest on fire , Nicolas teased , his deep voice tinged with indulgent warmth .
Gently , he cupped her head to stop her from moving- Im just so happy to see you ! Noelle grinned , her delight evident in her crescent shaped eyes .
Nicolass heart melted at the sight of her radiant smile .
He couldnt resist reaching out to pinch her delicate earlobe and softly asked , Elly , its so late .
Why are you out here all alone ? Didnt you say you were going to cheer for Damon today ! I did cheer for him ! But now hes off to pick up Leia , Noelle explained candidly , without the slightest trace of concealment .
Hearing this , the smile on Nicolass face faded slightly .
His lips pressed into a thin line , and his grip on Noelles hand tightened imperceptibly .
He left you , a girl , alone on the street this late , just to pi pick up Leis ? Yeah , Leia showed up to see him , so he went to meet her , Noelle nodded , tugging playfully at Nicolass sleeve .
She tilted her head and pouted , Nick .
I ran out of money .
Will you take me home ** Seeing how unbothered Noelle was , Nicolas feh both amused and heartbroken .
The Anderson family really doesnt deserve her , he thought He released her momentarily , then clasped her hand again and asked , Its pretty late to head back to Reniam City .
I have a place nearby why dont you stay at my house tonight ? Really ? Noelles eyes lit up with excitement .
200 Seeing her reaction , Nicolass eyes softened even more .
With a charming smile , he quipped .
Youre going to be Mrs.
Nicolas soon , arent you ? Going home early shouldnt require permission , should it ? His words sent warmth blooming in Noelles chest , like countless tiny fireworks bursting into life .
She clung to his arm and leaned against him , looking up with a mischievous grin .
Nick , if we go home , can we do grown up things in advance ! Nicolass face froze for a moment Noelles knack for bringing up that topic was truly unparalleled .
He flicked her forehead lightly and said , What are you even thinking ? Youre too young for that .
But Im already an adult ! Noelle puffed her cheeks in dissatisfaction .
Could it be Nicks not capable ? Noelle thought .
The thought earned her a more solid tap on the head .
Ow ! Noelle yelped , clutching her forehead .
Nick , you hit me again ! Leading her toward the car , Nicolas said calmly .
Thats because I could tell you were having naughty thoughts No , I wasnt ! Nicolas said , Yes , you were .
Now get in the car , Nicolas opened the door and placed his hand over the top of the frame to make sure she wouldnt bump her head .
Once inside , Noelle , still brimming with excitement , rolled into Nicolass lap , wrapping her arms around his neck .
Nick ... What now ? Nicolas asked lazily , glancing down at her .
1/3 934 AM Chapter 58 just realized that whenever Im with you , everything goes right , Noelle said with a giggle .
She recounted how shed been unable to find a ride home earlier until Nicolas appeared , as if he were her guardian angel .
Nicolas chuckled and teased .
So Im your lucky charm now ! Absolutely Noelle nodded earnestly , Overcome by a sudden impulse , she propped herself up and planted a quick kiss on his lips .
Her eyes sparkled , and she said with a bright smile .
Nick .
I really like you Meanwhile , Damon rushed to the location Leis had given him , only to find not just Leia but also his younger brother , Eli , waiting there .
Damon , congratulations ! Leia , holding a bouquet of fresh flowers , greeted him with a radiant smile as soon as he arrived , Thanks , Leia Damon accepted the flowers , still a bit dazed .
His gaze shifted to Eli .
Eli , what are you doing here ? I couldnt let Leia come out this late on her own , could I? Eli said nonchalantly If he had known Eli was also here , he would have gone back and picked up Noelle Eli said , Its so late , Leia said she wanted to see you , how could I not bring her ? Elis eyes swept over Damons shoulder .
Not seeing Noelle , his brows furrowed .
Wheres Noelle ? Mom said she came to cheer for you and even attended your celebration party .
Why are you here alone ? Noelle Damon hesitated , his expression shifting awkwardly .
Elis tone sharpened , Damon , where is Noelle ! What happened to her ? Leia , standing nearby , watched the exchange , relieved to see that Noelle wasnt with Damon .
However , she feigned concern , asking .
Yeah , Damon wheres Noelle ? Why isnt she here ? Cornered , Damons irritation flared .
I told her to go home on her own Whats the big deal ? You let her go home alone this late at night ? Elis voice rose in disbelief .
Damon , are you out of your mind ? Do you even know what time it is ! Do you realize how far it is to Reniam City ? How could you be okay with leaving Noelle on her own ? Damons irritation boiled over .
Why wouldnt I be okay with it ! She tagged along uninvited Im not responsible for her ? Damon ! Elis voice was filled with anger .
Sure , Noelles skilled enough to defend herself .
But shes also ridiculously naive ! If someone with bad intentions tricked her , shed probably hand them her money and thank them for it .
Damon opened his mouth but found himself unable to refute Elis words .
Everyone in the family had tacitly acknowledged Noelles guileless nature Damn it ... Eli muttered , raking a hand through his hair before pulling out his phone to call Noelle .
I thought you might at least take care of her since she came to support you .
But no , youve outdone yourself , Damon .
Unbelievable .
For once , Damon was too ashamed to talk back .
It was obvious to everyone that Noelle wasnt the sharpest tool in the the shed .
Damn it Eli ruffled his hair in frustration and pulled out his p phone to call Noelle .
As he duled , he said , I know youre not fond of Noelle , but considering she came to cheer you on today , I thought youd at least show her some kindness .
I didnt expect you to leave her out there alone so late .
Damon , with his fiery temper and sharp tongue , couldnt a single word in his dea in his defense as Eli scolded him .
ilty .
If Id know known this would Leia , standing behind Damon , chose to keep quiet , though she felt a twinge of irritation .
Was it really necessary for Eli to fuss so much over Noelle , that wild woman ? she thought .
Now Damons feeling all guilty .
If luppen , I wouldnt have let Eli come over in the first place ! 2/3 9:34 AM c Chapter 58 Before long , the call connected .
Hello ? Noelles bright , crisp voice came through .
She asked cheerfully , Eli , why are you calling me so Late ? Shouldnt you be sleeping Noelle , where are you right now ? Eli asked urgently .
Huh ? Noelle was caught off guard .
Eli , noticing her cluelessness and slow reaction , grew even more irritated .
He repeated sharply .
Im asking you where are you ? Tell me your location and stay put .
Dont wander around .
171 come pick you up .
Noelle sighed , exasperated .
